I think they’re very neat, but definitely get it how people wouldn’t like if they’re too close to your house and overwhelmingly loud. We got one as a gift in memory of my grandpa, and while very pretty sounding, we were a little worried we would hear it constantly and not be able to sleep and such. But we actually found a space that’s not too close to the house for it, and unless there’s crazy wind we don’t hear it much if we’re inside, but it sounds nice when we’re outside.
